Bright for a short time then fog bound.
Walked out along Gunton Cliff and first great bird of note was a female MERLIN. She flew of initially, only to return in a few seconds and alight on a branch of a tree on cliff. Did not stay long enough for a pic however. I did meet up again with the same bird flying through to Plesurewood Hills after railway bridge. GREENFINCH and LINNET calling with only one SONG THRUSH at lower end of Gunton Wood. Also SPARROW HAWK made an appearance again very brief.
Along railways track the usual TIT flock with nothing untoward only to be baffled by the sighting of a very thin bird which was very much disliked by a magpie. When it flew it was one of those that really wo0rries the mind as it was very woodpecker like ,yet did not look like one through the bins. Another lost bird to history.
I also came across a flock of 20 plus REDWING and five FIELDFARE as well as three MISTLE THRUSH.
There was a serious amount of MAGPIES about which have been separately logged.
